Is it permissible to celebrate Laylat al-Qadr by preparing food in the mosque?
It was part of the Prophet's guidance, peace and blessings be upon him, during the last ten nights of , which include Laylat al-Qadr, that he used to "keep vigil throughout the night and awaken his family," as narrated by Al-Bukhari. Reviving these ten nights in a manner not revived by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and his Companions, is considered an innovation (bid'ah), based on his saying, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever introduces into this matter of ours that which is not from it, it will be rejected." Thus, it is feared that whoever performs such a celebration may have deprived himself of benefiting from a night that could be Laylat al-Qadr, by engaging in an action therein that is rejected from him, and this is a clear loss.
